Minnesota people have found new
way to test the freshness of eggs. Wipe
the large end of an egg, they say, quite
clean, and then touch the tip of the
tongue to the central part of this big
end. If the egg is good there will be
little warm spot inside the egg which
will be plainly perceptible to the tongue.
This is an improvement on the Omaha
market plan of holding one ear to the
egg and listening for squeak.-Omahd

Ancient Jubilees.

In connection with the question Of
iubileeS, correspondent in London Notes
anil Qqerie,, calls to mind the first thirty
years jubilee of Amenhetep ILL.,, or, as
written by the Greeks, Amenophis ILL.,,
Pharaoh of Egypt, which occurred in the
thirtieth year of his reign, in or about the
wear li1O y. G.. The King, it is recorded,
sat upon his throne TO receive the list Of
the tributes from the north and south,
according to the taxing of the full Nile at
the festival of the thirtieth year, We find
that Pharaoh did not only receive trib.
utes and gifts, but that he rewarded
those subjects who had faithfully paid
their taxes with a necklace, an equivalent
at the present day TO receiving a decora-
ton at the hands of the sovereign. 1t is
also stated that the people gave more
taxes than they were obliged, and then
departed to their homes, well contented
that the King had shown himself upon
his throne, and the taxpayers of the south
and north had been rewarded. We also
find that Rameses III. celebrated "A thirty
years Jubilee with great festivities
throughout his dominions His second
Jubilee took place in the thirty-fourth
year, the thi.d in the thirty year,
and the fourth in the fortieth year of his
reign. Thotmes Ill. and many other
Egyptian kings had long reigns, but ann
not aware that it is recorded that they
celebrated their thirty years jubilee.

The Bishops Advice.

"And don't keep telling about your

ter who was always telling how the peo-
pie treated him at Brownsville. 1t was
Brownsville here and Brownsville there
everything was Brownsville. This
went on until everybody got thoroughly
tired of hearing Brownsville. One night
good old lady arose in the weekly
prdyer-meeting to give in her testimony.
She was a dear, good soul-one Of the
saints on earth. She said she had had a
hard week. My soul, she said has
been greatly depressed all the week.

Useful hints.

Salt sprinkled over anything that is
burning on the stove.will prevent any dis
agreeable odOr.
Lard for pastry should be used as hard
as it can be cut with a knife. 1t should
be cut through the flour, not rubbed.
Wash valenciennes lace in luke-warm
water with fine soap, and iron over sew
eral thicknesses of flannel to bring out
the pattern.
The surest and most practical way of
not having milk scorched is to scald it in
a double boiler, or a tin that sits in a
kettle of boiling water. The wetting of
a kettle with cold water and allowing it
to remain few minutes before putting
the milk in will lessen the danger of
scorching the milk.
A pair of boots or shoes thoroughly
soaked are not easy to dry without being
left in an mcOmfortably stiff, if not
shrunken condition. A very simple de-
vice will make the drying process com
paratively safe. The wet shoes should
be thoroughly stuffed with paper, which
serves not only to keep them in shape,
but hastens their drying by absorbing
the moisture
A good cleansing mixture may be made
with two ounces liquid ammonia, two
ounces bar soap, finely shaved, and two
teaspoonfuls powdered saltpetre. Put
these ingredients into a large, open
mouthed bottle and add pints warm
water. 1t will be ready for use in two
or three days, 1t is well adapted for
washing delicate colored articles, also to
add to the water for shampooing the
head. Mixed with water and sprayed
upon plants it will kill any insects in
Testing them, and also act as fertilizer,

The myth of the "Great American Des-
ert' has finally disappeared from con-
temporaneous history. Its last refuge
was in the noble Territory of Montana ;
but the rapid development of that re gion
shows conclusively that there is no desert
there. On the contrary, to use the words
OF the San Francisco Chronicle, Montana,
enthroned among the mountains like a
queen, beckons the advancing pioneer
and smiles welcome to all who with in
dustry and energy and honest purpose
will demand from her the treasure which
she has hidden in her bosom. The en-
chanted princess has slept for many
year, but now the new prince, the hardy
American son Of toll, has come to lay his
kiss upon her lips. and bid her waken to
the realization of new life and new
hope.p

Food adulteration is by no means con-
fined to this country. Statistics Just
published by the Prefecture of the Seine
show that during the year 1885 the Off
cial chemists of Paris ordered the de-
struction of 1, 147 articles of food and
prosecuted 1000 persons for adulterat-
tion. 1t is interesting to note how the
gid struggle between good and evil is
begetting new battles in the field of mod
crn science.

SYMPATHY.

l!hold IL gift rare and half divine,
This ready feeling for fellows woes
Which from one nature TO another goes
In comprehensive intuition fine;
'Tis said that certain charmed witchhazel
wnnds
VIII straightway tell of treasures hidden
fast
In the earth's heart, and softened shadows
cast
Upon the spot, when held in rightful hands;
So sympathy, rod of tender grace.
When held in loving hearts will gently find
The hidden heights or depths of humankind
And hold their treasures in fond embrace.
But ahl each magic wand TO WELD its art
Must holden be in honest hand or heart.

According to some astronomers the
earth, through the suns attraction and
the friction of the tides, is losing time
in OF her words, revolving more slowly
upon its axis. This, if true, need not,
however, cause any serious dissarrange-
ment of clocks and watches, as the al
legged loss Of time is only half second
IN century of years. If men would
come up to their engagements as prompt
ly as the earth does, there would be
much less cause of complaint on the
ground of tardiness.

The Sultan of Turkey is still continu-
ally haunted by the fear of assassination,
and his morbid disposition has of late
been increased by an incident in the
hsrem which has affected him very
strongly. Abdul Hamid, it appears, had
been attracted by the graces of a young
Circassian girl; but the Prince Sclim,
his eldest son, who had the right of
entry into the harem, abducted the fair
young esHZisn, and thus violated the
sacred character of the harem. Since
this occurance Prince Selim has been
placed under arrest. All his tutors have
been changed, and strict surveillance
has been established over every one
entering the palace.

there was never any Supreme Court of

for the establishment of such a court.
but when it reached the Senate it was
defeated by Mr.. Yancey of Alabama, who
took the ground that such a tribunal was
antagonistic TO the confederate idea Of
the sovereignty Of the several States-to
maintain which principle they had
seeded from the Union. Mr.. Yancey's
views were acquiesced in, but the
necessity for such final arbiter of dis
butes between States came up some time
afterward, when the courts of one State
declared that Confederate bonds could
be taxed for State revenues, and the
courts of another State decided Just the
contrary. The early collapse of the

is about our measure. Everybody
is not so fortunate. Some people
have troublesome stomachs and weak
nerves, and most people become
little sick at times. To them
" balmy sleep" does not come so
easily, and when it does come, sits
lightly on the eyelids, and takes
flight at every movement and noise.
How annoying to them is the per-
petual barking of dogs. We feel
for these people, and on their ac-
count curse the yelping ours. If
others felt the same, they would
not keep the obnoxious creatures,
to be an annoyance to their
neighbors.

the QUEENS HOSPITAL.

In most parts of the world, pub
lie hospital is usually regarded us a
charity institution, a place for the
sick poor, but not the proper place
for invalids with money and means.
Not so in Hawaii nei and its capital
city, Honolulu. No social stigma
attaches to q man who becomes, or
has been, an inmate of our only
general hospital, the Queens Hospi-
tai. In fact, it is generally con.
sidered the proper place for any man
who is seriously i'll, and has not q
regular home residence of his own,
whatever may be his social standing
and however large and full his purse;
because there he will have regular
medical and other necessary attend
ance, wholesome food, and good
general care, which, unless he be
the fortunate husband of a devoted
wife, he can scarcely procure for
love or money elsewhere in Homo
lulu. Recognition and realization of
this fact, induce many, during the
course of year, to make a home of
the Queens Hospital, when stricken
by the hand of afiliction, who would
never think of becoming inmates of
public hospitals in other parts of the
world. And seldom have we heard
word of complaint from those who
have unfortunately been in condi-
tion of health which has necessitated
their availing themselves of the
benefits of the Queens Hospital.
On the other hand, the praises of
the institution have often been sung
in our ears by those who have had
experience within its gates and doors.
1t is undoubtedly one of the best
appointed, best regulated, best man
aged institutions, and most COM
pletely and satisfactorily serves the
object of its existence, public or
private, that the country has. We
may well be proud of the Queens
Hospital. 1t has been a grateful
as well as hospitable home to many
poor sufferer. Not least among
its distinguishing features are its
beautiful, picturesque, and well-kept
grounds, with their quiet walks,
stately shade and ornamental trees,
and grassy lawns, where GONZALES
cents may stroll at will, gaze upon
natures beauties, and inhalc her
sweet perfumes and pure air.

ABOUT DOGS.

Dogs are useful animals, and they
are also useless animals. That is
to say, some dogs are useful, and
some are useless. Even worse than
that: some of the latter class are a
positive nuisance. A good watch
dog, or good cattle or sheep dog, is
sometimes worth his weight in gold.
A dog that understands how to save
human life from drowning, and is
on the alert TO exercise his skill in
that direction, is valuable animal.
A dog, too, that is fond of children,
and serves to amuse and please
them, may be said to fulfil useful
purpose in the world. But the
greater part Of the dog family as
represented in this city, belongs to
neither of these classes, nor to any
other class which serves any useful
end whatsoever. They are mostly
of the lower order, aud live merely
by the grace Of good-natured and
tolerant community. And they are
uncommonly numerous, too. If
their owners are conscientious in
the regular payment of the taxes
imposed on them by law, they must
be an important source of revenue
to the Government, and q heavy
pecuniary burden to their masters.
But the probability is that they are
instructed not to report themselves
while the tax assessor is making up
his list. A high percentage of these
useless creature. are visibly dis.
eased, are loath.ome objects to
look upon, and are liable to transmit
their malady to the useful class of
their species and perhaps to human
beings. a sufficient argument for
their determination. A still higher
percentage render themselves OBJ
noxious by their barking and yelp-
ing proclivity. If they had the
good sense to limit the exescise of
this inborn propensity to the day
time, less hard feeling would be
harbored against them. No, that
is the time they spend in quiet
sleep, behaving themselves like
christians. Nor would it be 80 bad
if the early hours of the evening
were set apart for their amusement
in this way, with silence to follow,
say, after 10 o'clock. But there
seems TO be no disposition whatever
on their part to listen to any sug-
gestion or enter into any arrange
ment OF this kind About when
decent people retire to bed for rest
and sleep, then the barking concert
begins, which is kept up without
intermission until the break of day
next morning. To people of robust
health, clear consciences, and easy
minds, who sleep easily and soundly,
it matters little. Thunders may
roar, babies may cry, and dogs may
bark, they can sleep till daylight all
the same, and little after. This
